Yes! We encourage you to submit to all the festivals you think are the right fit for your film. Be sure to pay close attention to our submission deadlines.
You may still be waiting to learn of your film’s invitation status from other festivals (such as Sundance or Berlin) but if SXSW is a priority, you should submit to SXSW on time, before our final deadline of Tuesday, October 18, 2022.
If your submission is accepted by SXSW, you will have the option of accepting or declining your invitation. Keep in mind too, that while World, International, North American and U.S. premieres are preferable, we do show films from other festivals.
